Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 100 - Complexion getting awful.

This time Li Xue did not leave anywhere in a hurry, especially after getting directly confronted by the man. She waited for his return while going through the data on her phone, deleting the useless emails and text messages.

Her fingers were swiftly working on the screen of her phone when suddenly it halted in the middle of the track. Her eyes halted at the words on the display screen. It was a text message that she had received the other day from Wen Sying.

'Li Xue, I know you blame me for everything that had happened to you back then. But believe me, I have never meant any ill for you. You have always been the sister, I have wished the heavens for. How could I do anything wrong to you? But still, since you blame me for everything, I accepted your accusations heartily and have tried to repent my mistakes with the best. I took care of uncle and aunt when you were not here in the last 5 years. I supported Wenting, the way you would have done if you were still by his side. I also took care of the precious things that you held close to your heart. While doing all this, I never felt any burden, because I knew whatever I was doing was to repay you back and keep the strong close relationship we shared'.

'But when I saw you so indifferent last time at the airport. My heart could not take it anymore. For the sake of all those memories, we shared back then and the things you left behind 5 years ago; the things that I am sure are still valuable to you, please come and meet us. I will be waiting for you at Restaurant Tulip for lunch'

Though the text was best presenting the essence of warmth and care, a long-aged friendship would have but Li Xue knew the best. How can she not know? The words might feel normal to one's eyes and ears but when one saw in the depths of it, they can find the desperation hidden beneath. The desperation to replace one with the other.

And that was just not only in the talks but it was something that has happened in the actuality. The friend, whom she has considered the closest has replaced her in a way that she has never thought. Her parents, who have never cared to show any love and concern for her, have adopted Sying in a way that will make people mistake her to be their real one.

The man to whom she has entrusted her life to have left her like she never existed in his life and walked to stand by Sying, giving his big wings for her protection. Like he has never shared any relationship with her before. Even the career she has hard-earned was ruined in just one night. But that was not the thing that pained her, rather what pained her was the fact that at the time of her need, there was no one to support her or believe her. Not even the ones, whom she has trusted with all her life. That pain was no less than any death.

Li Xue was not the person to push the blame on someone. And she was also not the person to forgive anyone just like that. What her parents, Zheng Wenting or Sying did to her, she has long forgotten and did not want anything from them. But she can't forget the belongings she left in that place.

Those things were the only thing that held value from her past life. The memories she shared with her sister. The only person who has truly cared for her stood for her and loved her.

If not for that box of memories, Li Xue would have never cared to go to that invitation. She was all engrossed in her thoughts with her complexion getting awful when the door of the car opened. She failed to realize it as her eyes did not leave her phone, neither she was broken out of the trance.

One glance at her and the man instantly knew that there was something wrong with her. Sliding inside the car, without any hesitation he reached his hand out to touch her forehead and her cheeks. "What happened? Are you fine? Du Fan, take us to the hospital first", he asked with concern and then commanded the driver in a little urgent tone. His voice was laced with slight panic.

Du Fan, the driver, was also taken aback. He was sitting in the car all time with the woman and he has not seen any abnormality in her surroundings. But now seeing his master getting so worried all of a sudden he feared that he had missed something behind.

The sudden warm gentle touch of his palms snapped the woman back to the reality giving a slight shiver. Her eyes left the phone and turned to look at the man. After what happened last day, this sudden touch felt a little awkward. But her body did not flinch, coming in contact with him.

Feng Shufen's eyes were fixed at the woman, analyzing her face very minutely to check what's wrong with her. His expressions turned colder than ice in the frustration, not able to understand what suddenly happened to her. And not seeing her giving any response only made him grow more anxious.

"Du Fan, …", he was about to pass on another command but before he could Li Xue hurriedly interjected, "President Feng, it's okay. I am fine. There is no need to go to the hospital".

The man moved his eyes to get one better look at her face, but her paling complexion did not comfort him. "If you are fine, then why are your words not going along with your face. Why are you suddenly looking awful with your complexion?"

Li Xue was confused at his words. Complexion getting awful! She shifted herself in her seat, her eyes trained at his hands that were still on her face. "President Feng, please allow me to check myself," she said as she once again eyed at his hands.

Feng Shufen nodded and let her do whatever she wanted. The woman quickly pulled out her phone and switched on the selfie mode to check. Her face was fine but of course, Mr Beelzebub wasn't wrong either. Her complexion has started getting a little pale, but it wasn't something new to her. This has always happened to her whenever she goes deep down in the memory lanes of her sister.

"President Feng, I am really fine. My skin pigmentation might have faded a little but it will soon be back to normal. Thanks for your concern though, but I don't need to visit any hospital. Believe me! Please drop me at the next coming signal and I will get my way back", Li Xue said with a tone assurance.

The man looked at her but did not give any response. Not getting any reply, Li Xue took his silence as his acceptance. So turning to the driver she said, "Mr Driver, can you please stop the car at the next signal. I will get my cab there"

The driver was about to nod in polite acceptance but at this moment a firm tone made its presence known. "No need, take the car directly to Feng Internationals. Ms Li Xue is coming with me there".
